1 Solid state USB RF SPDT Switch Matrix 10 to 6000 MHz The Big Deal Very high isolation, 80 db typ Quad SPDT switches with single USB interface High speed switching, 250 ns typ High power handling, +30 dbm max Software Package Case Style: QM2469 Typical Applications Cellular handset / BTS testing High volume production testing / ATE Design verification testing RF signal routing / switch matrices Product Overview Model No. Description Qty. Switch Matrix 1 Included Accessories MUSB-CBL ft USB cable 1 RoHS Compliant See our web site for RoHS Compliance methodologies and qualifications Mini-Circuits is a low cost, USB controlled, solid state matrix, containing four independent SPDT RF switches. Each fast switching, absorptive switch operates from 10 MHz to 6000 MHz with 250 ns typical switching speed. High linearity (+50 dbm typ IP3), and high isolation (80 db typical) allow the model to be used for a wide variety of RF applications. Full software support is provided for USB control, including our user-friendly GUI application for Windows and a full API with programming instructions for Windows and Linux environments (both 32-bit and 64-bit systems). The latest version of the full software package can be downloaded from at any time. The is housed in a compact, low profile, rugged metal case (8.4 x 2.00 x ) with 12 SMA (F) connectors (COM, 1 and 2 for each switch), and a USB Mini-B port for power and control. Key Features Feature Four RF SPDT absorptive switches High Linearity (IP3 50 dbm typ.) Internal DC Blocking capacitors Full software support included Advantages Wideband (10 to 6000 MHz) with low insertion loss (2.3 db typ.), high isolation (80 db typ), and high power rating (+30 dbm through path). Results in little or negligible inter-modulation generation, meeting requirements for digital communications signals No need for external DC blocking circuitry Mini-Circuits full software package, programming and user manual are available for down load from at no extra cost.
